Wordlists

The Wordlists endpoint allows you to extract large lists of words from our dictionaries by taking advantage of the rich tagging across domains, registers, lexical categories, and regions. Each Wordlist request can retrieve up to 5,000 words, and therefore we weight Wordlist requests differently from other requests to the API. One Wordlist response is equivalent to 500 individual requests.

Full and filtered wordlists are also available to license or purchase. To discuss your requirements please Contact us.
